How to Make a Tripod Adapter for Iphone or Phone

finished product.jpg

this is an idea I had for my phone because I like to take pictures and videos. I have a little show on Youtube, and the camera I used broke, so I had to take a hiatus. I went on the Internet, and looked for an adaptor and it cost about $20. so then I thought of making an adaptor myself. it is made of thick poster board, Velcro, and a hard case for a phone. altogether it cost about $5-10 depending on the products you used.

Next, take your case and find the back of it. you want to put the other part of the velcro on the back of the case. Again make sure too press on the velcro to make sure it is on good and doesnt fall or peel off.
